This week at the château, Ash & Tony start work on uncovering the second water hold at the front of the château.
The first water hold was dug out by Tracy and a little help from a digger. This time Ash and Tony have got all the big toys out, with a digger, tractor, trailer and jcb on site it was a lot easier the second time around.
Terry finishes the dormer windows on the château which Tony started work on a couple of episodes back but after seeing the colour Terry decided to change the colour to a more suitable one for a french Château.

ABOUT US.
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

I always admire anyone who can work in high places, and it is nice to see the harness in use, a fall would have bad consequences. Those windows just shine after some white paint. What an unbelievable change in the grounds. Kudos. You are all amazing.
johnathan is a wonderful young bairn a credit to you all in raising him in a environment n family like you all
❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️ 🪟⛲️
Glad Terry had himself secured to the scaffold while up so high
That snail really travelled high up on the Chateau. You should relocate it away from your buildings. Your family is doing a fine job giving much needed TLC to the estate.
Continue your work. I enjoy what you are doing to make the castle beautiful again
I love ❤️ the white window frame, much better. You can see all the hard work outside. Looking 👍
Dad's a stud!
Hardest working family on KZhead. So exciting watching everything come back to life again.
Thank you so much 🙏🥰🥰
I loved the toss the bottle of Coke for a nice beer. Nice one.
😂😂 yes Tony will it drink coke
Your work may not seem to be showing off how much effort everyone has put in when you look at it but to me as a spectator and fan you have accomplished a massive amount of work. The property is really taking shape and your neighbors must be thrilled as they pass each day and see this beautiful piece of France coming back to life. Can’t wait to see the wednesday episodes and see Tony’s excellent stonework again.
Totally agree.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. It is slowly coming together ❤️🥰
Kudos to Terry for working on the roof, scenery was wonderful. Ooh, la, la Tony on his fit torso! It's wonderful to see all of you working together & giving Mom Tracey a rest (even if she doesn't want it!).
Thank you very much, yes Tracy has had a rest from digging and moved onto painting for now 🥰
I don’t know if seeing you on that little ladder thrills or terrifies me more.
Tony! Wow 👏 hard work certainly pays off! 💪
Thank you very much 🥰
Sue Hall Well done the Windows look great.The earth moving now looks great.Look forward to the up dates Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍾
Thank you very much 🥰
Tony, should you drinking and operating heavy equipment..lol,, love the new intro, great work now that there are more "helpers"..
😂 He only had a shovel so should be ok 😂😂 thank you glad you like it 🥰🥰
You are getting so much done. All of you are so busy and with so many projects on the go. Proud of you all.. ❤🇦🇺
Thank you very much ❤️
You are such an inspirational family and Jonathon is a little star and such a sweetie. Wishing you the success you rightly deserve.
Thank you so much ❤️🥰❤️
Love the Coke moment!!!!
While you all are getting so much more done with everyone together again it also seems that you are a bit more at ease too. It does seem that some stress has been lifted from you all not worrying about those that were not with you. You joke a bit more, laugh a lot more, and your smiles do not end. It is so nice not only to see you all together again, but to see the difference in your general spirits that being together again has on you. So happy for you all. Thank you for sharing. This video was AMAZING! Seeing those two water holds together from the air was quite a site. Of course I cannot wait to see what is revealed next and the updates to the cottage. With everyone together the channel is really starting to shape up nicely. Cannot wait for the next video. Best of Luck.
Thank you so much for a lovely comment. Yes we are a close family and being apart was very hard for us, now we can all relax, and enjoy 🥰🥰
The aerial view shows just how much work you have done. It looks so good. You all are really making fast work of things around there.
Thank you very much ❤️🥰
Great that you are learning French. My estimations have grown further. Great Job.
Thank you very much, yes we are learning slowly 🥰
The chateau looks uplifted with windows painted white. It shines. And the difference to the garden is amazing. Brilliant job guys. Looking forward to seeing more and more.
Thank you very much, yes the windows make a massive difference 🥰🥰
Thanks for having us! 💝💕
Thank you very much 🥰
Can't wait for the Wednesday vlog. Men and their big toys always get it done...Great job.
Thank you very much, hope you enjoy the cottage updates ❤️🥰
Hi everyone, What a wonderful video! It is really great to see you all together...and it shows how you all are such a close family & so very supportive of each other. Loved the bit...Tracy was locked up part...really love the humour & joking! The dormer windows look great...good job Terry and for braving those heights! Great birds eye views! Thank you so much for sharing...really looking forward to Wednesday's video. Take really good care of each other, stay safe! Much love Kathy x
Thank you so much for a lovely comment. 🥰❤️
Wow back on Wednesday - that is great news. You guys are such a joy to watch. Do you realise how much work you get done. It is incredible. Well done all. Yes, white windows are better 🤭 👏👏
Thank you very much, yes a little update on a Wednesday to 🥰 And the windows are definitely better white 🥰
Obtaining the machinery is a bonus. So pleased for you. Look forward to the cottage project being shown
Thank you very much 🥰 yes hope you enjoy the cottage update 🥰
The château windows look so nice in white. You have gotten so much done in the gardens too. Thank goodness for tractors.
Just found this one I missed loved it and look how much you have accomplished since then x
Looking so good. Chateau roof done, chimneys done, grounds almost all cleaned up, getting some chateau upper windows done and cottage looking amazing!!!! I have probably missed a few things....oh yes....chicken house done! You all have done so much since you took ownership...love seeing all that you are doing and thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Look forward to the mid-week updates on the cottage, it is really turning into a home. Well done!!
Thank you very much, we are slowly but surely bringing it back to life 🥰
I started laughing and clapping when Tony threw away the Coke and picked up his beer!! 😆😆
Love the 80s synthe intro!
Thank you very much, glad you liked it 😁🥰
So happy you are posting on a Wednesday, for updates xxx
Hope you enjoy it on Wednesday 🥰🥰
Ooh Lala Tony!
UTB! You guys are livin the dream.
Looking forward to some video commentary in French in a couple of months! 😀
Tony, your murdering of the French language is laugh out loud funny. I know it's all in good fun. I knew an American woman living in France who spoke the language perfectly except her accent was affreux! She made us howl. She just couldn't let go of those hard consonant sounds at the ends of words. She was actually born in France too, where she lived the first couple years of her life. If you attack this task as you seem to do others, I have no doubt that you'll get it down perfectly.
A nice mix of everything this week, thank you for letting us share in your world 😄 look forward to Wednesday 🎉
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Totalement admirative de votre courage, votre enthousiasme, je vous suis avec plaisir 🥰😅 bisous à tous
You are doing a great job
The white dormers look fabulous against the refurbished chimneys! You’re all doing a great job on the chateau. It’s great to see your progress each week.
So glad Tracey has got to do the digging, What a difference by having the machinery cleared so much quicker. Well done Terry for doing the roof. Tres magnifique x Cannot wait to see what you have done to the cottage. Loved watching. A la prochaine fois x
Merci beaucoup, the windows definitely look better white. Yes we will do weekly updates on the cottage too now 🥰🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle 🥰
You are doing great and Ash follow up on that French! It will help you such much creating a life in France!
Thank you very much 🥰
Great to see you wearing that safety harness Terry..thumbs up there.. {Pity you didnt have the digger Trace for that first water hold...you worked darned hard on that. Its great to see how the surrounding countryside changes as time ges by..eg the farmer had plowed his fields, now his crops are coming up... look forward to seeing how the cottage has changed...great job everyone. cheers from Western Australia
Fabulous vlog!! I love the idea of the white color on the chateau. My favorite part of the episodes is when you all get together at the end and talk about the week and what's coming up!
Je trouve super ce que vous faites c est sauver le patrimoine français , quel courage vous avez , j adore regarder l évolution de vos travaux

Thank you very much, yes it was a little scary up there 😮❤️
I think you all are the hardest working family on KZhead! Such a great job to keep on "crackin' on!" :)

Hi guys who ever designed the Chateau Liked symitary it's got hoodles of potential and will be beautiful . Why I man ! Tony love the diet coke break lol lol your such a character .
Yes the château is stunning and the symmetry is one of the things we loved about it. Glad you liked Tony’s bit 😂🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle loved it he's a real character and a very hard worker . Then you all work so hard looking forwards to all future vlogs .
You guys are making some amazing progress. Looking forward to the Wednesday addition as well. Every additional person can make a great difference. I grew up in a large family and my parents always stressed "many hands make for light work". And if we had any really large projects then they brought in reinforcements by way of uncles, aunts and cousins lol. Which was great fun and usually included amazing BBQ cookouts with all the fixings. Be Blessed and Continue To Be A Blessing To Others!
Thank you. I heard everything Terry said and still enjoyed the music. Awesome!
Thank you very much 🥰
Amazing amount of difference to the grounds and the forms windows definitely look great in white! Well done to you all! X
Thank you very much, yes the windows are definitely better white 🥰

Scary, I had to put my knitting down and hang on to the arms of my chair .😱😂😂
Yes it was a little high 😮❤️
LOL! It was a bit unnerving! I noticed that by the time he got to painting the sides Terry was moving a bit more gingerly than when he was brushing it down. I was relieved to see him wearing the harness.
